Nasal Decolonisation of MRSA

Nasal Decolonisation of MRSA

The recent demonstration for the first time of urinary monic acid A as a clinical urinary biomarker of exposure to intra-nasal mupirocin during medication for methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) offers a way of verifying adherence to the regimen. However, absence of...
